Hi all,
I recently released a book, ‘Pedals, Paddles and Potholes’ telling my story of extreme adversity, overcoming it, and eventually kayaking across Bass a Strait. The Melbourne & Sydney launch have gone very well and I will be in Penang from 21 - 28 May.
I would like to connect with the ex-pat community (my partner Charmaine lived in Penang for 5 years as a teenager and we are considering residence there). I also wondered if you would be interested in a presentation on the story whilst we are in town. I am told it is a captivating story and well told 😊.
Please let me know your thoughts.
Warmest regards
Paul
